I have to admit, I was a little thrown off by their sound when I first heard them. Having never heard a front-loaded horn system before, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. But as my ears became accustomed to the huge dynamics and the effortless authority in which it was playing music, I couldn’t help but smile from ear-to-ear.

Listening to the horns is an absolute pleasure. Their ability to convey the emotional core in music continues to amaze me more every day. I find myself rediscovering old discs and records I had put away years ago and hearing them with new enjoyment.
